AMD: Memory Modules Testing the Waters

Earlier this week we reported of AMD RADEON branded memory modules that have gone on sale in Japan and Canada and it now appears that AMD are simply testing the feasability of entering the memory market.

"AMD does not manufacture memory and does not plan to sell system memory directly to our customers. AMD is currently determining if the sale of AMD Radeon-branded memory through channel partners is a viable opportunity and as such it has appeared in some regions for purchase through retail," said Dave Erskine, a spokesman for AMD.
